Not very practical either. The little flood emitter is completely exposed with no protective lens. Forget pocketing it as an edc unless you also use a lens cap or case.
They were always expensive, but not always THAT expensive. I think they were originally in the $1.5K range.
Of the “dual EDC” light in more practical terms, the Surefire A2 Aviator was very well regarded: it had a ring of LED’s for a flood beam, plus a regulated incandescent throw beam. I think there is an all-LED version of it now. It inspired the McGizmo Lunasol, which was also all LED.
